Jenn Hoffman: the female photographer and her very special moments shooting the models!

Hello World of Models family! I started the career when I was in college, my original major was Digital Media, which was graphic design. I took a photography class there and fell in love with it, I felt I could make it into a career. :-D I kept networking on different networking websites and also in person and kept practicing my skill learning from other photographers. My main influences: Annie Liebovitz - she is amazing! She has gorgeous work and she continues to shoot no matter what. Also, Britney Spears has been a huge role model for me, she still keeps dancing and singing no matter what because that is what she loves. I don't know how to define my style, I guess you could say I just like to capture beauty!

The digital era and the World economic crisis

The digital era helped the photographers concerning aspects like quality and tecnology I don't think I could have had the patience back in the day when there was NO Photoshop! World economic impact on fashion photography? I think it will eventually pick up - the economy WILL get better!!!!!

Special moments, special models perfect pictures and funny backstage´s moments

It happens at almost every shoot I do, haha. It is a high that I honestly cannot explain when a beautiful image is created. Both myself and the subject just share the joy! I LOVE knowing that I´ve been helping the models in their careers. It makes me so happy. I definitely cannot get that feeling behind a desk job! Funny/unusual backstage´s moments? Hmmm, my camera had stopped working while I was shooting so the model and I drove all the way to the camera store and I attempted to buy a new camera! Also - I fell over a cord one time - so embarrassing.

Top 5 cool favorite places for a shooting

1. My studio (lots of space and cool props)
2. Underneath a bridge in L.A. (cool lighting and great atmosphere)
3. The Beach (always something to do there, and great weather and good lighting as well)
4. Deserted areas
5. Old houses

 

IMAGE worh A THOUSAND WORDS?

Yes, I have been told my kiwi image does that, LOL

 

Current projects and unforgettable moments

Just a lot of model testing and various musician projects here and there. Lots of headshots! I LOVE working with male models more than females for some off reason, I loved working with Vince Azzopardi, Tommy Cupples, Justin Wade, and a few others here and there. I would have to say shooting Janice Dickinson was an amazing turning point for me, she was incredible to work with and it really launched my career! When I was shooting her, she saw a photo I just shot and she jumped on top of me and said "Jenn I love you and your lighting"!

Places Jenn goes for fun: Movies, Iowa (visit my friends), Disneyland, beach
Main motto: "Live for today as if you'd die tomorrow"
